Bjork’s Greatest Hits
|
Had to go with the greatest hits. Bjork. Wow. Seriously amazing, Such a strange voice. Powerful. There a lot of videos for this Compilation. Holy shit, a ton. I wont use them all. Seriously, she is one ov my favorite female artists. Usually very edgy and abstract which I can totally relate to. The video for All is full of love by Chris Cunningham(aphex twin videos) and who also worked with Stanley Kubrick. Rumor has it that the robots in this video were originally going to be used in the move “AI” but it got axed by Steven Spielberg and didn’t get used. But found a home in this Amazing Bjork Video.
When bjork belts out, like she usually does in most of her songs, there is this resonance in her voice that just pierces my soul. It hypnotizes me, and blasts me into another emotional state that is beyond the usual ones. So much power in that voice. So unique, not like anyone else. Some people hate it, but that usually is because they have very bad vanilla taste in vocals. I love hyperballad a lot, the video is ok, but I love how she sings about falling down the side of a mountain, that is what really sells me on this track. Strange.
The song that really got me into Bjork’s solo music after the Sugar Cubes was Army of me. That Huge fat bass line. It’s trippy and varies in intensity as the song progresses, repetitive but perfect. I love the video as well. Again, i love the lyrics, If you complain once more, you’ll meet an Army Of Me. heeheheh.
I love the Bachelorette as well, the strings, the piano and that daunting haunting voice that sends chills down my spine. Her voice is what sells it. But the song dynamic is perfect, how it builds up and fades, then the melodies change, so great. Kick ass song writing. I seriously am very envious of songs like this. I wish i could get strings and piano to sound that great. I wish I could work with a female singer that could sing as well as she can..
I loved pagan poetry as well, I would listen to this over and over again. I love the harp sounds and how they are played. I love how it sounds like a demented toybox. I love how bjork’s music blends the synthetic and organic. Cool synths with very lush harps and music box instruments. I love the pink dots for doing things like this on their older lps but Bjork mastered this. Simply amazing. Not to mention, this video is amazing, we get to see crazy piercings. Oh, did I forget? she is nude in this video. It’s not work safe…
The hunter is very psychedelic. This video fucked with me so hard core when I was tripping. Very minimal song, but well done.. Watch…
Even if you don’t like bjork, you have to admit, the videos are simply amazing and worth owning. This is one of my most listened to cds that I own. I Highly recommend this. Buy now! Click Here to buy Bjorks Greatest Hits on CD. Click Here to buy Bjorks Greatest Videos Volumen.
